Visual Query Systems for Databases
TL;DR: This work identifies several user types and match the VQS classes against them, in order to understand which kind of system may be suitable for each kind of user, and introduces a classification based on such features, namely the adopted visual representations and the interaction strategies.

VIVA: A visual language for image processing
TL;DR: VIVA is a proposed visual language for image processing that serves as an effective teaching tool for students of image processing and takes account of several secondary goals, including the completion of a software platform for research in human/image interaction and the establishment of a presentation medium for image-processing algorithms.

An algebra for structured office documents
TL;DR: This is the first model based on a many-sorted instead of a one-sorts algebra, which means that atomic data values as well as nested structures are objects of the algebra, and can be used directly as a rich query language for office documents with precisely defined semantics.

CONVERT: a high level translation definition language for data conversion
TL;DR: A high level and nonprocedural translation definition language, CONVERT, which provides very powerful and highly flexible data restructuring capabilities and is based on the simple underlying concept of a form which enables the users to visualize the translation processes, and thus makes data translation a much simpler task.

Specification of Forms Processing and Business Procedures for Office Automation
TL;DR: This paper presents a formal means for specification of forms processing, the underlying concept is that business functions can be decomposed into meaningfuliy connected form processes where each process either produces or modifies a form.
